Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000#comment-655891here’s the thing that is so fucking infuriating about this sort of tour, and it would be SO FUCKING EASY TO AVOID: the use of techy abbreviations. if the idea is to popularize space for kidz and newbies, then why not just extend the abbreviations into the meaningful phrases they represent? would it kill ya? only about 50 people in the world know what the hell you are talking about. what a waste!

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000#comment-655903I believe the video was made for the engineers at Mission Control in Houston, hence the shop-acronyms. I found that slightly annoying too, because it was such a cool thing to see and I wanted to understand.

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000#comment-655915alright, just as an example i want to know what “CTB” stands for. Wikipedia is my friend. I get this:

Not a single mention of the International Space Station (or, as you prefer, ISS). Makes me want to FKS!

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000#comment-656223It’s really sad that this video is so boring. I want to see more videos like the water sphere experiments, or better yet videos detailing the actual science they went out there to do.
